La propiedad left especifica parte de la posición de un elemento (posicionado - es decir, con una posición determinada por código).

Para los elementos con una posición absoluta (aquellos que tienen la propiedad position: absolute ó position: fixed), la propiedad left determina la distancia entre el margen izquierdo del elemento y el borde izquierdo de su bloque contenedor.
